Subaru Legacy rear window price, by year
Prices vary based on the generation and optional trim features on your specific Legacy. Early-to-mid production models without encapsulation are generally more affordable, while later variants with factory-fitted rubber gaskets or tinted glass carry slightly higher costs.
Generation differences account for most variation — newer Legacies may have different fitment hardware or gasket styles, which the technician you're matched with sources to match your original spec.

What to expect during your Subaru Legacy rear window replacement
Rear-window replacement is straightforward but involves shard cleanup — here's how the process works.
- 1
Complete a quick online quote using our widget — takes about a minute and confirms your Legacy's exact rear-window variant.
- 2
Our parts team reviews your vehicle's specification to ensure the replacement glass matches your factory trim, including any tinting or encapsulation.
- 3
You're matched with a local specialist who sources the glass and schedules a fitting slot that suits your availability.
- 4
On the day, the specialist removes the shattered rear window and fits your replacement. A shattered rear window means shard cleanup is a significant part of the job — your fitter will remove what they can reach, but small shards can lodge in places that need deeper access.
- 5
We recommend a professional valet afterwards for a thorough interior clean if you want complete detailing.
- 6
Your replacement comes with a two-year warranty covering workmanship and glass quality.
Book through UK Car Glass and arrange your Legacy rear-window replacement with a trusted local specialist in your area.
Mobile fitting or workshop visit for your Legacy?
Most Legacy rear-window replacements can be arranged at your home or workplace — mobile fitting is the default. However, some variants may benefit from a workshop environment if shard cleanup requires better facilities or if additional checks are needed.
Your specialist will confirm the best location when they contact you to arrange the fitting. Either way, the job typically takes 30–60 minutes of the fitter's time, depending on the vehicle and the extent of glass breakage.
We confirm the specific answer for your vehicle when you book.

Heated Rear Windscreen4
1990–2015Heated rear windscreen with integrated wires clears mist and ice when you switch on the demister.
What it means
A heated rear windscreen contains fine heating wires embedded within the glass. When you activate the rear demister, an electrical current passes through these wires, warming the glass and melting ice or condensation. This feature is particularly useful in cold or damp weather, improving rear visibility quickly. The heating grid is integral to the glass and connected to your vehicle's electrical circuit via connectors at the base of the windscreen.
How to tell
Look at the rear windscreen from inside the vehicle — you will see a fine grid of horizontal lines across the glass, typically bronze or copper in colour. On the dashboard or steering wheel stalk, there will be a dedicated rear-demist button, usually marked with a windscreen symbol and heating lines. If in doubt, ask your vehicle's service centre or consult your handbook.
Replacement impact
Replacement rear windscreens with heated grids are widely available as original-equipment aftermarket or dealership parts. The new glass must include the factory heating grid and electrical connectors intact. The technician will reconnect the heating circuit to your vehicle's rear-demist switch. Heated rear windscreens are bonded glass, so adhesive cure time applies; drive-away time will be confirmed by the fitter on the day.
Green3
1999–2015Green tint reduces glare and improves visual comfort by filtering certain light wavelengths.
What it means
Green tint is a light-filtering coating applied to the glass during manufacture. It absorbs and reduces transmission of certain wavelengths of light, primarily to cut glare from sunlight and reflections. The tint is subtle — often barely visible to the naked eye — but measurably improves visual comfort during prolonged driving, particularly in bright conditions. It's a factory specification chosen by the vehicle manufacturer to balance daylight comfort with interior visibility and aesthetic consistency across all glass in the vehicle.
How to tell
The easiest way to check is to roll your side window halfway down and hold a piece of white paper behind it. Look carefully for a tint cast — green tint will appear as a subtle green hue compared to clear glass. Your windscreen will have the same tint as your side windows. You can also ask your vehicle's dealership or service centre — they'll have the original specification on file.
Replacement impact
Green-tinted replacement glass must match the original tint specification to maintain visual consistency across all windows and preserve the vehicle's interior aesthetics. Aftermarket OE-equivalent (OEE) green-tinted glass is widely available, though some vehicles may require original equipment (OEM) dealership glass if the tint specification is proprietary. Tint does not affect calibration, cure time, or installation procedure — it's a cosmetic and functional specification only.
Antenna2
2004–2015An aerial laminated into the windscreen or rear window restores radio, DAB or TV reception without a roof-mounted mast.
What it means
An antenna is a conductive print laminated into the glass during manufacture, typically used for radio, DAB (digital audio broadcasting) or television reception. It replaces the traditional roof-mounted aerial mast found on older vehicles. The antenna is integrated into the glass interlayer and connected to the vehicle's receiver unit via a connector embedded in the glass edge. This design offers a cleaner aesthetic, reduces wind noise, and eliminates the vulnerability of a protruding mast to damage or theft.
How to tell
Check your vehicle's roof — if there is no visible aerial mast, your car likely has a laminated antenna. You can also ask your dealer or service centre whether your windscreen or rear window carries an antenna print. The connector may be visible on the glass edge or inside the door frame trim.
Replacement impact
When replacing glass with a laminated antenna, the replacement must carry the matching antenna print and connector to restore reception immediately on fitting. Aftermarket or original-equipment glass with the correct antenna specification is essential; a plain replacement will leave you without radio or DAB signal. Our fitters verify the antenna specification during booking and source the correct variant before the appointment.
Blue1
1990–1993Blue-tinted windscreens reduce glare and heat while maintaining a subtle, modern appearance.
What it means
A blue tint is a light coloration applied to the windscreen glass, usually during manufacture. It reduces solar heat transmission and glare from sunlight, particularly on bright days or when driving into the sun. The tint is integral to the glass itself — not a separate film — and is chosen by the vehicle manufacturer to balance comfort, visibility, and aesthetic consistency with the vehicle's side windows and rear window. Most vehicles come with a green or blue tint as standard; the choice depends on the manufacturer's design and regional climate considerations.
How to tell
Check your side windows by rolling one halfway down and holding a white piece of paper behind the glass. If you see a blue tint reflected in the glass, your windscreen will have the same tint. You can also ask your vehicle's dealership or service centre to confirm the windscreen tint specification. The tint is visible when comparing the windscreen to clear glass, though it may be subtle and harder to spot on overcast days.
Replacement impact
Blue-tinted replacement windscreens must match the original tint to maintain visual consistency with your side and rear windows. Most replacement glass is available in the correct tint through OE (original equipment) suppliers. There is no calibration requirement related to tint. The tint does not affect fitting time, cure time, or drive-away schedules. Ensure the replacement windscreen is specified with the blue tint to avoid a mismatched appearance.
About the Subaru Legacy
The Subaru Legacy has been in continuous production since 1989, evolving through several generations with varying rear-window specifications. Early models through the 2000s carried straightforward toughened rear glass, while later generations introduced optional tinting and encapsulated trim as premium features.
From around 2013 onwards, Subaru began introducing its EyeSight driver-assistance suite on the Legacy and related models. Whilst EyeSight cameras are typically mounted at the windscreen, the rear window itself remains a toughened panel without built-in sensors, so replacement is straightforward compared to front-glass jobs.
